Arthur Ryapolov reminds me of my junkie cousin who pawned my Xbox to pay for drugs when I was little. I’m not sure what ever happened to that dusty crackhead.
As for Arthur, he went from flipping cars to building and selling $80 million worth of real estate with his brother Ruben.
Crazy as it sounds, they say anyone can be a home builder.
Yes, even if you work a 9-to-5 and money’s tight and you can hardly put together a LEGO set, you can apparently do this.
Keep reading for my 7-Figure Builder review.
The Ryapolov bros have built over 250 doors in Oregon and Washington through their real estate development company, August Development.
Obviously, they’re not the ones swinging hammers and hanging drywall. They just hire reputable contractors and let ’em do their thing. Right?
They might stop by the site for 15 minutes here or there – just to see how it’s coming along – but that’s about it.
Anyway.
Here’s their process, in a nutshell:
- Find a good lot.
- Make sure you can build on it.
- Verify that the numbers actually make sense.
- If so, get the house plans drawn up.
- Hire professionals to go ahead and build the home.
- Sell it for a six-figure profit.
- Rinse and repeat until you’re a 7-Figure Builder.
Okay, but where will you get the money to finance all that?
Arthur and Ruben say it’s easier than you think to get a loan because, if there’s one thing banks believe in, it’s real estate.
True, but are they just gonna hand you a million bucks if the only thing you’ve ever built were burritos behind the sneeze glass at Chipotle? I highly doubt it.
Another objection I had was doesn’t it take years to build a new home?
Not when you have a proven process, Arthur says. In fact, they’ve done it in as little as three and a half months.
Which, honestly? Only makes me question the craftsmanship.
Like, is some poor guy gonna go to turn on the sink and have the whole goddamn roof collapse on his family of five?
I bet you need a hell of an umbrella policy, huh?
What about timing?
Ruben argues that it couldn’t be better. There’s a shortage of several million single-family homes, and not everyone can just wait around for the right one to come on the market. New construction solves this.
Plus you have less competition, Arthur adds.
And I’ll give him that because, yeah, who’d wanna do this? Personally, I’d rather ride a roller coaster where a couple people fall off at every loop-de-loo – but to each their own I guess.
So, what else?
Arthur wants you to know that if you do get involved, sky’s the limit.
Maybe you start with a cute little, modern-looking, single-family home. Then you get some investors and throw up a duplex. Then a fourplex. Right? Wherever the ROI takes you.
And guess what?
7-Figure Builder will teach you how to do all of this, A to Z.
The brothers promise, it’s gonna be a breeze; you’ll be doing your final walk-through – on your first new build – before you know it.
As usual, there’s no mention of cost – at least not until they got ya on a sales call.
I will hand it to these guys, though: They chose to do something big and scary, and somehow made it work.
As for whether or not it’ll work for you?
I mean, you better hope so, or you’ll be back checking hand stamps at Chuck E. Cheese.
Me, I’m sticking to digital real estate, thank you very much.
